Burriss and Otero are interesting but they are basically place holders for Freddy and Vogelsong. Pill, however, is a real surprise. I guess it is all about the long ball sometimes...Does this really mean that Huff is an outfielder again??? UGGHH

Burriss/Otero placeholders for sure. Or Theriot, the beauty of the cheap signing. I think they really like Hector Sanchez' bat, and he can learn on the job as far as the catching development. Love the young team.

Keeping Hector is truly the most interesting move of the spring. Could this just be a way of shopping him around? After all, young catchers is the one thing we have in excess. I imagine that he could be flipped for a real seccond baseman (if Freddy can't make it) or maybe another shortstop (if Brandon can't hit).

I suppose Pill might also be shopped around. Isn't he just a pinch hitter on this team? Won't all the 1B time be gobbled up by Belt, Huff and Posey? I think platooning Belt is a bad idea...he is far too good to be held back at all. Of course, if Pill hits a homer in his first few games...all bets are off. I bet anybody that hits a dinger will be almost guaranteed to get the next couple starts.
